Hair Tutorial | Pretty Side French Braid low Updo

I wore a more relaxed version of this hair style in an outfit post in June of 2009 but for reasons unbeknownst to me, I never did a tutorial for it. Recently though, a few of my lovely readers have asked for it …so here it is.

Have Fun!

This is so cute and simple! And you’re great at teaching! I looooooove how yours is half brown and half blonde, it looks sooo cool multi-colored hair for the win! I’d never be able to try this out on my hair unless it was like extremely straight (cuz ive got extremely curly hair) but I would love to try it out some day!

Maegan, you should seriously be a hair stylist. First of all, I’m obsessed with your hair – total hair crush. Secondly, I love how you change it up all the time; all of the styles you do are so effortless-looking, sexy, and creative. I LOVE this loose, bohemian braid you’ve done. It would be beautiful for a wedding! Annie from Nashville, TN – http://www.achiccritique.com

WELL COLOR ME HAPPY. Saw the lovely comments you left on my site and popped over to see what you are up to…here I am, glued to the screen, thinking of how I need to grow my hair another 2″ so I can braid it up like this. Dang you’re good! And you’ve got some gorgeous hair

I tried it, and got as far as the back of my head… and then I couldn’t tell what was happening anymore. I’m hair style retarded, and was super excited at getting the first part looking good. Anyway, I ended up just twisting the rest of it, and it looked, well…. interesting? Yours looks beautiful… I’ll practice a little and see what I can do. {sigh} Thank you for the awesome tutorial, though!

so…i was here a few days ago all ready to tell you how much i LOVE LOVE LOVE this updo and BAM i couldnt leave a msg because my personal family blog had unusual suspicious activity and it was invisible and i had to go through ridiculous security measures to prove it was my blog. i couldnt even comment on any blogger blogs…so HERE I AM AGAIN. just to tell you that i LOVE that friggen updo. lol…that is some serious dedication. =)

i made this tonight. like shari from the previous comments, i made it to the back of my head, and there it looked too low. so i made another braid from the other side, and i connected them where they met in the back.amazing. i would have never tried this if it wasn’t for your tutorial. thanks.

I watched your video and wore my hair like that last night and got so many compliments! someone even told me that I should always wear it like that, it was so “classically elegant”! Thank you for sharing!

LOVE this hair style SO MUCH!!! I can’t do a french braid for the life of me though otherwise I would be wearing this all the time! I had a hair dresser do it for me though for a wedding I was in in June. So great!

I stumbled upon this post in your blog awhile ago and fell in love with it! I do this style all the time (the down do version) and always always always get tons of compliments just on the sheer originality of it. I was stumbling this evening when I found another site that reposted it and didnt credit you (just used your photos and video) and it made me a little mad, so i put the link to the article so you could contact them and right their wrong. this style is to awesome for them to jack.

Great job. So, what were those little clear plastic clips you picked up to secure the bun? I couldn’t recognize them.I’m doing hair for a wedding in a few weeks and the bride wants all the girls to have side-buns. I definitely plan to suggest your braid. Thanks!
